Shirts (Poll)

Do you think local HS associations should set a standard as to which shirts we wear so we finally get on the same page? (std / panels / panels and flags)

Yes, we can wear the wide panel, greys & the standard as long as we all have the shirt.

Where is the "It doesn't matter" option? Unless you work for multiple associations at the same time - which some do - or you plan on moving soon, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. While I was in the DC area, I had to buy and maintain 5 different shirts. It was necessary to work all the ball I was working so I did it. I did have one problem with it: IAABO exists to make money and be the "middle man". That is one of the reasons I had so many shirts and the "IAABO exists for training" thing is hogwash. Every association should have some kind of training.

In my area, which I think is different from a lot of your areas, there are so many conferences and so many different associations, you don't always work with a partner from the same association. That's why I voted no. The standard stripes are the ones we use, but Illinois recently started embroidering the IHSA logo on the left breast. Some officials have it, some don't. The state hasn't said that the new shirts are mandatory.

In fact, they've specifically said that they are not mandatory, and that the crew can mix and match (old-style patch, embroidered sleeve, embroidered sleeve-and-chest)

There still is a standard. Everyone has the same patch or embroidery on their shirt. We also cannot wear the side-panel shirt. No conference has an individual shirt or patch to wear. Official Associations do no assigning so they cannot override the state. And like you said we work with so many different people and places it would make no sense to have different officials groups doing different things.

Peace

There would seem to be a contradiction.

The state office here says all shirts must be uniform for the crew.

Missouri requires the state patch on the left sleeve and does not allow the grey pinstripe shirts. Side panels or regular stripes are fine, and most everyone has both. I don't know of any local associations that wear their own patch also, but they may be out there. I know some baseball groups in Missouri have their own patches.

Here is what is required. Officials must wear a patch on their left sleeve (properly placed of course) if they are IHSA officials. A few years ago they allowed a company to add a embroidery "patch" in the place of the typical patch. They also allowed that same company to put on embroidery on the left chest "pocket" area as well.

What Bob is talking about it is allowed that if one official has the traditional blue patch, another official can have the embroidery on the sleeve and the other officials could have the sleeve and chest embroidered and it would be OK. And the reason was they did not want officials to feel compelled to go out and buy new stuff just to fit with every official they work with. As was stated we all do not work with the same people from the same places or sometimes the same people in a conference, so it would be expensive for someone to have all styles.

All that is required is something be on the left sleeve of the shirt and they type of "patch" is optional as well as the other types of embroidery.

It was really not a contradiction, I just was not clear what was required.

Peace
